Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters seemingly has an on- and off-air relationship with BlazeTV host Steve Deace, who has a history of making extreme comments attacking public education and LGBTQ people. Walters, who was elected to his current position in November 2022, has repeatedly appeared on Deace’s BlazeTV program and described himself as “a big fan of the show.” In one appearance, Walters even thanked Deace for “responding to late night calls and texts that I've given you throughout the last couple of years.” As superintendent, Walters has pushed right-wing content into Oklahoma schools, including partnering with conservative propaganda organization PragerU on content for public instruction. Walters has also used right-wing media outlets such as Fox News to direct vitriol at public school teachers, as well as using social media to amplify attacks from an anti-LGBTQ influencer that were followed by bomb threats against Tulsa schools.
